Maroon Cocoon - Bart Davenport

Advantages: Always nice to hear a band play live
Disadvantages: some songs just don't work acoustically

...MAROON 5 are: ADAM LEVINE - VOCALS, GUITAR JAMES VALENTINE - GUITAR JESSE CARMICHAEL - KEYBOARDS MICKEY MADDEN - BASS RYAN DUSICK - DRUMS Maroon 5 were formed when the then 17 year olds, Levine, Carmichael and Madden attended high school together. At this stage they called themselves Kara's Flowers and they were fortunate enough to work with top producer Rob Cavello (Goo Goo Dolls,Michelle Branch and Green Day). Fame and fortune looked set for them until they released their debut "The Fourth World". It bombed and their record label dropped them. They didn't have a plan B, so deciding to go on to college, Levine and Carmichael left for New York, while Madden and Dusick studied at UCLA. It was whilst in New York that Levine noticed a style of music he hadn't really paid attention to before - Gospel. Everyone... Read review

Advantages: Couple of good tracks
Disadvantages: A string of unforgettables in the middle

...'Songs About Jane' is the 2002 album from the American rock band 'Maroon 5'. The band hail from L.A., and have enjoyed commercial success since their album release. They are a very popular band, but come under criticism for the lack of diversity in their music. This album has 12 tracks, including hits such as 'Harder To Breathe', 'This Love' and 'She Will Be Loved'. I like the album, although a couple of the tracks are quite forgettable. My favourite track is the last, entitled 'Sweetest Goodbye'. These are the tracks: 1. Harder To Breathe 2. This Love 3. Shiver 4. She Will Be Loved 5. Tangled 6. The Sun 7. Must Get Out 8. Sunday Morning 9. Secret 10. Throught With You 11. Not Coming Home 12. Sweetest Goodbye The problem with a lot of CD releases where some of the tracks have enjoyed commercial success is that they...

Advantages: Every song rocks!!!
Disadvantages: NONE!!!

...When i first heard the track 'harder to breathe' i was all 'not another rock band one hit wonder', but i didnt hear from Maroon 5 for ages, about 3 weeks ago , i heard the catchy 'this love' and instantly remembered the unique, enchanting voice of front man Adam Levine (who by the way is HOT!!!). I went out and bought the CD the next day. The front cover scared me a bit, but i soon relaised that it was mystical and logical. the title of the CD was also wierd until i read inside the sleeve to find that 'Jane' was Adam Levines Ex! I picked this CD up for £9.77 at Asda but generally it costs between £10 - £14 Songs. 1. Harder to breathe. This song was the first song Maroon 5 released, and I didnt actually like it that much, but it grew on me, I love this song, and definatley think that this song is a great way to start the album...
